| Macro (Total Crypto) | 1'2'% up in cap, 5.8'% up in volume, neutral fear'greed | Accumulation phase ' market cap rising slowly, volume confirms, but fear'greed still neutral, suggesting room for a breakout. |
| Micro (ETH'USD) | Price 12'% up in the day, OBV falling, RSI neutral | Mark'up phase with potential over'extended buying. OBV decline flags underlying weakness. |
